  two 
  years 
  later. 
  At 
  tlie 
  necropsy 
  were 
  found 
  tubercular 
  

   arthritis 
  of 
  th'e 
  wounded 
  thumb 
  and 
  many 
  vomicae 
  in 
  the 
  lungs.

  The 
  post-mortem 
  wart 
  (tuberculosis 
  verucosa 
  cutis) 
  is 
  familiar 
  

   to 
  surgeons 
  as 
  occurring 
  in 
  butchers 
  and 
  tanners, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  

   every 
  presumption 
  that 
  in 
  many 
  cases 
  this 
  is 
  of 
  bovine 
  orig-in 
  (Mar- 
  

   tin 
  du 
  Magny, 
  Hanot, 
  Senn, 
  Riehl, 
  Paltauf, 
  Osier). 
  Gerber 
  testi- 
  

   fies 
  that 
  in 
  exceptional 
  cases 
  this 
  extends 
  to 
  the 
  lymph-glands 
  and 
  

   becomes 
  generalized. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Stang 
  of 
  Amorbach, 
  had 
  a 
  five-year-old, 
  finely 
  developed 
  

   boy 
  patient, 
  of 
  healthy 
  parents, 
  destitute 
  of 
  hereditary 
  taint. 
  He 
  

   died 
  after 
  a 
  few 
  weeks' 
  illness 
  with 
  miliary 
  tuberculosis 
  of 
  the 
  

   lungs 
  and 
  enormously 
  enlarged 
  tubercular 
  mesenteric 
  glands. 
  The 
  

   cow 
  which 
  supplied 
  his 
  milk 
  had 
  been 
  killed 
  a 
  short 
  time 
  before 
  

   with 
  pulmonary 
  tuberculosis.^* 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Demme 
  of 
  the 
  Children's 
  Hospital, 
  Berne, 
  had 
  four 
  in- 
  

   fants, 
  the 
  offspring 
  of 
  sound 
  parents, 
  with 
  no 
  hereditary 
  taint 
  of 
  

   tubercle, 
  die 
  of 
  intestinal 
  and 
  mesenteric 
  tuberculosis, 
  having 
  been 
  

   fed 
  on 
  the 
  milk 
  of 
  tuberculous 
  cows. 
  Among 
  2,000 
  tuberculous 
  

   infants 
  treated 
  in 
  twenty 
  years 
  th-ese 
  were 
  the 
  only 
  ones 
  in 
  w^hich 
  

   he 
  could 
  exclude 
  the 
  probability 
  of 
  hereditary 
  and 
  other 
  causes.^^ 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Howe, 
  of 
  ISTorth 
  Hadley, 
  Mass., 
  lost 
  a 
  son 
  aged 
  20 
  months, 
  

   from 
  abdominal 
  tuberculosis, 
  three 
  months 
  after 
  he 
  had 
  paid 
  a 
  

   week's 
  visit 
  to 
  his 
  uncle 
  and 
  hud 
  been 
  fed 
  the 
  milk 
  of 
  the 
  uncle's 
  

   tuberculous 
  cow. 
  The 
  cow 
  showed 
  at 
  death 
  generalized 
  tubercu- 
  

   losis. 
  The 
  child 
  had 
  been 
  strong 
  and 
  well, 
  as 
  were 
  his 
  parents. 
  

  

  The 
  four-year-old 
  son 
  of 
  Colonel 
  Beecher 
  of 
  Yonkers, 
  died 
  

   March, 
  1894, 
  of 
  tubercular 
  meningitis, 
  and 
  th-e 
  two 
  Aldemey 
  

   cows 
  which 
  had 
  supplied 
  him 
  with 
  milk 
  were 
  then 
  proved 
  consump- 
  

   tive 
  by 
  the 
  tuberculin 
  test 
  and 
  post-mortem 
  examination.^* 
  

  

  The 
  child 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Brown, 
  U. 
  S. 
  A., 
  and 
  now 
  of 
  Cornell 
  University 
  

   Medical 
  School, 
  was 
  similarly 
  cut 
  off 
  by 
  tuberculosis, 
  having 
  been 
  

   fed 
  on 
  the 
  milk 
  of 
  a 
  tuberculous 
  cow.
